What can SE learn from Bioware's failing Star Wars MMO?

Let's not forget class balance as well. Being able to do the content as any class/job you want and still being useful was a huge boost for raiding. Players are happier when they can play the role and spec they want over being forced into what used to be known as a "raiding spec" back in TBC.

Can do this now in both XI and XIV, the only problem is elitist who want the easiest way out.

And what I was getting at is that the devs should do their best to remove that easy way out.

Though XI's jobs are not interchangable. Can't swap a DRK out for a THF and still perform on the same level. Can't replace a SAM with a BST and perform on the same level. WHM and SCH aren't exactly interchangable either. Which is leagues away from the raid losing nothing if your melee DPS include a Ret Paladin, Combat Rogue and Frost Death Knight because the raid still performs near the same as if they had a Fury Warrior, Unholy DK, and Assassination Rogue. Or the raid not being shackled to a resto Shaman for raid heals and a Holy Paladin for tank heals.

XIV's hasn't quite gotten there yet.
